Tastes

This is a really good batch. Corn, cinnamon and sweet oak on the nose. Peanuts and caramel on the pallet. Spicy and long finish. The corn flavors are much more pronounced in this batch.

This is my first time trying it and even though it’s very good, I was a little underwhelmed. The nose has vanilla and maple syrup. The palate is a little thin, but of course it’s only 47.5 abv. Not over oaked and plenty of orange marmalade. Very long finish and we’ll balanced. Sampled the 2018 year.

The nose has a sweet butterscotch. The palate is crème brûlée, vanilla and the finish has a strange burnt popcorn kernel. No oak and once I noticed they had other grain spirit it made sense because it has a very light characteristic to it. Here in Texas and I had to give it a try, but I don’t need another pour of this whiskey.

Because it’s only 40% abv it takes a bit of work to get the scents. You get corn and vanilla on the nose. The palate comes in with a good amount of oak, more corn, rye spice and a medium finish. For under $20 a bottle ya can’t complain!

I really enjoyed this one. the sauternes cask brought about a lot of character, but still allowed the malt to shine through. It almost reminded me of champagne in a way that I felt like bubbles were dancing around in my mouth. A little higher abv helped keep this whisky interesting.
